It sounded like Guy was willing to do that for him. Even though it was just posting a message on the board, knowing that someone was going to be able to check on those four made his burden feel somewhat lighter. That thought alone allowed Claude to relax a little, his mouth turning upward into a small smile. "Thank you so much," he hoarsely said. "You have no idea how much I appreciate that."
Now if only he could do something about that painful feeling in his eyes. Claude almost moved to touch at one of his eye pads again, but stopped short when he remembered Guy's warnings from earlier. Instead, the fingers of his uninjured hand flexed a little nervously at his side, but that was the only outward indication he gave of his discomfort.
"By the way," Claude said as he leaned his weight against the back of the pew, "was it just me, or were the doors...acting really screwy last night?"
Normally he would have immediately checked the bulletin for any information on that, but there was no way he could read any notes today. Which meant he was currently in the dark, both figuratively and literally. Claude knew he couldn't entirely trust his perception of what happened to him since he'd blindly groped at his surroundings for a good portion of the night. But there was no denying that he'd wound up on the Calnus along with Dad and that other patient before night ended -- or, at least, they'd thought they were on the Calnus. So that meant something had to have been up, right?
